Experienced in just about all branches of art, she took lessons with professional artist Dick Van Den Hoogen. She paints in oils, acrylics, chalk pastel, ink, and more. She has taught the acrylic pour classes at the shop in the past.

Look out for her at her home studio during the Sunshine Coast Art Crawl!
